Guardian Online "The Knowledge"

Can you help?

From today's The Knowledge:

"My team, Charlton Athletic, are currently on a run of 73 games without a goalless draw," writes Jon Laysell. "Is this a record?"

Stig

I'd like to help, but it was me that sent in the question.

HAHA!

soon to be 74 games............

Some quick Google-ing reveals that Hartlepool once went 175 matches without a 0-0, and Inverness Caledonian Thistle went at least 112 without a 0-0.

Can't find an official stat though from an authoritative source, not that I know exactly what that would actually be.

And yes, I am very bored at work.

Can anyone tell me the last 60k plus attendance in the top flight before Old Trafford was extended.
This would obviously be pre all seaters.

Got a feeling might have been Arsenal v Liverpool for some reason.

For a moment there, I thought it was going to say 73 games without a win...

i've got a circular piece of black plastic with a hole in the middle.

Is this a record?

Give us a few years, we'll soon hit that target!


(Joke! before this turns into a Parky/Powell bashing thread.)

I think it already is. I sent the question in before the Rochdale game.

That's it the record is over. Now we can concentrate on winning again ;-)
